when it is opened. Objects in the glove box can
be thrown into the interior during the journey,
for example in an accident or during braking and evasive manoeuvres. There is a danger ofinjury. Immediately close the glove box after
using it.'

Cupholder Safety
note WARNING
Unsuitable containers in the cupholder
and hot drinks can damage the cupholders,
and increase the risk of injury in an accident. There is a danger of injury or damage to propj
erty. Use lightweight, lockable containers that
are shatterproof. Do not transport hot drinks.
Do not force objects into the cupholder.'

BMW

TechnologyVehicle
equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment available for the model
series. Therefore equipment which is not inj stalled in your vehicle, for example on account
of the selected optional equipment or the
country specification, may also be described
here. This also applies to safety-relevant funcj
tions and systems. Comply with the relevant
laws and regulations when using the correj
sponding functions and systems.
High
performance
engine
General The high power engine generates a maximum
power of 317 kW, with Competition package
331 kW and a maximum torque of 550 Nm
from 3 litres of capacity.
The maximum power for the M4 CS is 338 kW
and the maximum torque 600 Nm.
The spontaneous responsiveness of the high-
performance engine produces a very broad
usable engine speed range. The maximum enj
gine speed is electronically regulated at
7600 rpm. Due to the powerful engine dynamj
ics, the maximum engine speed is limited when
the vehicle is stationary.
Driving
hot During the engine warm-up phase, the highperformance engine runs slightly more roughly due to the emission control.
When the engine is cold, the exhaust has a slightly metallic undertone, depending on the
system.
Other information for hot driving: engine speed counter, see page 105, and engine oil temperj
ature, see page 106.M
compound
brakes
The high performance brake system has ventij
lated compound brake discs.
Depending on design requirements, function
noises may occur when braking. The functional noises have no effect on the efficiency, operajtional safety and endurance of the brake.
Braking
correctly To keep the brake system in optimum condijtion, it is desirable to load them at regular interj
vals depending on the nature of the vehicle.
M
Carbon
ceramic
brakes
The high performance brake system has ventij lated carbon-ceramic brake discs.
Depending on the material-specific properties,there can be increased functional noises whenbraking, particularly when it is wet, shortly bej
fore the vehicle comes to a stop. Increased
functional noises have no effect on the effij ciency, operational safety and endurance of
the brake.
Due to the effect of wetness and salt spray, for example, after using a car wash, condensation
overnight, driving in rain etc., the braking effect
may correspond to a conventional braking sysj tem. The braking effect may be perceived to
be reduced and can be compensated for by
greater pedal pressure, as needed.
First clean brake discs and callipers with a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaner before
washing the vehicle in an automatic washing
bay or car wash. This prevents salt crystals,
for example, from causing crusty deposits and build-up to form if the vehicle then remains
stationary for a period of time. The cleaning efj
fect of automatic car washes generally not sufj
ficient for this in the wheel area.Seite 190Driving

Also follow the information on this under vehij
cle washing, see page 244, and safe braking,
see page 194.
Drivetrain
In this vehicle, particular attention is paid to the
direct connection from the engine to the drivej train. Due to the torsionally stiff design of thedrivetrain, as usual in a sports car, the transjmission of the torque is can also be heard.
When there are load changes, it can thereforecause clattering noises. The clicking noises do
not affect the function or lifetime of the comj
ponents.
Driving
on
a
racing
track
The higher mechanical and thermal loads inj
volved in driving on racing tracks lead to inj creased wear. This wear is not covered by thewarranty. The vehicle is not conceived for use
in motor sports competitions.
Before driving on a racing track, have the vehij
cle checked at a Service Partner of the manuj
facturer or another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop.
The standard brake pads and the wear disj plays are not designed for racing track operaj
tion.
Further information and advice can be obj tained from a Service Partner of the manufacj
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.Seite 191BMW

General Moving parts must adapt to one another.
The following notes will help to maximise the vehicle's lifetime and efficiency.
Do not use Launch Control when running in.
Safety
note WARNING
New parts and components can cause
safety and Driver Assistance Systems to rej spond with a delay. There is a danger of accijdents. After new parts have been installed, or if
the vehicle is new, drive moderately and interj vene at an early stage if necessary. Comply
with running-in procedures for the correj
sponding parts and components.'
